Chapter 2 in International Sanctions in Contemporary Perspective, 1987, pp 13-23 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It was noted in the previous chapter that international sanctions were not a familiar aspect of statecraft until the twentieth century, when two world wars of horrifying dimensions prompted efforts to lay a more secure foundation for peace and world order. The results of these efforts were embodied in the League of Nations and in its successor organisation the United Nations; bodies which were to be purveyors of peace. Both the League and the UN attempted to institutionalise norms of behaviour which would encourage the peaceful settlement of disputes and limit the use of force between states; the UN has gone further in developing extensive welfare functions including specific concerns for human rights.
